Emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) through human activities have a well known impact on the Earth’s climate. What is not so well known is that the absorption of this CO2 by the oceans is causing inexorable acidification of sea water. But what impact is this phenomenon having on marine organisms and ecosystems? This is a question to which researchers have few answers as yet.
